### Question: What causes Zygomycosis?
### Response: Zygomycosis is caused by common fungi frequently found in the soil and in decaying vegetation. Most individuals are exposed to these fungi on a daily basis, but people with weakened immune systems are more susceptible to infection.
Syndromes associated with zygomycosis include:
Rhinocerebral infection (infection of sinuses and brain) May start as a sinus infection May progress to involve inflammation of cranial nerves May cause blood clots that block vessels to the brain (thrombosis)
Pulmonary zygomycosis (lung involvement) -- pneumonia that gets worse quickly and may spread to the chest cavity, heart, and brain Zygomycosis of the gastrointestinal tract, skin, and kidneys
